The Buffalo Sabres say left-wing Evander Kane won’t play on Tuesday night against the Ottawa Senators after sleeping in and missing practice on Monday.

Coach Dan Bylsma says Kane attended the NBA All-Star game in Toronto on Sunday night and slept in the next morning, missing practice. Bylsma says he is “disappointed” that Kane broke a team rule.

“He slept in, called [GM] Tim [Murray] and myself, broke a team rule,” Bylsma told reporters on Monday. “We’ll be dealing with it internally, but he will not be playing in Ottawa. I’m disappointed.”
